Audi A8 looks much more acceptable than 5 Series GT, backed with the interior that’s nicely trimmed and tech-laden as you’d expect from any BMW
The list would be incomplete without placing Audi if we spend a moment just counting the most popular automakers around the world. And that’s for a reason and that’s Audi focuses on convenience and relaxation of the drivers these days. Gone are the days when people used to watch out glitz and glamour while shopping around for cars. Audi that’s something Audi has kept close weather on.
Every single vehicle produced by Audi has made it stand at a high-water mark. This is due to the reason that the German automaker knows what people expect from the vehicles these days. Not only the high-tech features inside but also the Audi engine under the hood makes Audi one of the most opulent car makers around the globe. Today we have got the brand new Audi A8 for you.
As far as the popularity impressions, the A8 is one of the best sellers in the class being the flagship model of the German automaker. In fact, Audi’s A8 has trailed its main rivals (BMW’s 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class) for the last three generations both in terms of sale and prestige. Designed for influence and built for terrific ride and handling, the all-new fourth-generation A8 may finally blow the full-size luxury car market up- no ifs, and, or buts about it.
Here, we are going to delve deeper into what this bad boy has to offer to the motorists. Let’s get on with this:
Performance on the road
The A8 has hit the market with a turbocharged 3.0-litre Audi A8 V-6 engine with 335 horsepower. Later this year, it’ll be presented with a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V-8 with around 460 hp, though it hasn’t been decided if that will be a 2019 or 2020 model. Yes, we all have to wait for that.
Within a couple of model years, the A8 will introduce a plug-in hybrid model that will combine the V-6 engine with a different electric motor and more batteries, for a total of 449 hp. That A8 L e-Tron will also be contoured with a wireless charging system and will come up with up to 30 miles of electric-only driving range.
Audi A8 from inside out
The exterior spotlights sharper lines, a broader stance plus a six-sided grille. If we spend a second watching it from inside, it bristles with screens and higher-end technology while also presenting a leather-wrapped deluxe living space on wheels.
On comparing the new Audi A8 with the previous A8, we can make the case that the new Audi A8 is 1.5 inches longer the previous model but it’s not wider even with the looks.
That’s likely because of the grille, which trades in the squarish shape of Audi’s past for a trapezoidal grille that takes up more front end real estate. The eye-slit headlights are also offered but they are even narrow and more complex now. Be that as it may, they still have an LED Audi signature.
Thoroughly modern, the 2019 Audi A8’s cabin is a perfect combination of technological nerve centre and a stylish living room right out of Architectural Digest. The standard seats are 18-way adjustable thrones, the materials have a premium look and feel, and space is adequate as well. Overall, the new Audi A8 is a trademark of comfort and quality which can be spotted in the seats, materials, fit and finish, passenger space and comfort features on offer.
Safety in Audi A8
The 2019 Audi A8, for the most part, is indubitably a sturdy car backed with active safety technology. We can make that argument that it could be one of the safer cars on the road.
The A8 comes up with standard safety features such as automatic high beams, forward collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors and the usual array of airbags.
A Driver Assistance Package is on the offer as well comprising the driver-assist Adaptive Cruise Assist system that can manage the brakes, steering and throttle at fewer speeds and in traffic deadlocks. It needs the drivers to keep their hands on the wheel. The package also contains an exit warning, cross-traffic alerts, the predictive active suspension that lifts the car up to 3.1 inches when it detects that the car will be hit from the side so the impact is absorbed by the car’s structure and a surround-view camera system.
The Executive Package enhances blind-spot monitors with the exit warning system, cross-traffic alerts, and the surround-view camera. A night vision system is also offered. So, all the aforementioned features make A8 one of the safer cars on the road.
